What's the biggest difference between Skinner and Bobrovsky?

Jamie McLennan joins Jay Onrait to break down the biggest differences between Stuart Skinner and Sergei Bobrovsky between the pipes, and the keys to victory for the Oilers.

[@soyeux27]

I love that you mention McDavid's goal in Game 6 against Dallas. Such a mind-blowing goal destabilizes the opposing team... in fact, all opposing teams.

[@tonymeehan7859]

dont think you will have to worry about any of that in this series. Cats sweep and absolutely destroy the Oil. Connor and Leon will be completely shut out and shut down. The PP and PK will be totally exposed, with 3-4 goal spreads. FLA 4-0

[@TH-tl6sy]

Skinners lateral movement has always been an issue. Has a harder time moving left to right than Bobrovsky.

[@justinescaglione4828]

I think that’s why defenders have been staying under and blocking a lot of shots!!

[@andrewroy522]

He has no problem moving left and right. Skinners issue is his positional play.

BOBROVSKY BOUTTA CRACK THE CASE #1 COP IN TOWN

[@darrinparkin718]

I remember Jamie playing for the Lethbridge Hurricanes, as did Stuart Skinner (where he scored a goal).

[@vajrasiddhi]

The Panthers in their 3 game streak: 11-4 in goals The Oilers in their 3 game streak(looking like a total reverse sweep of the series): 18-5 in goals That’s the difference! *Oh, and Bobrovsky got pulled in game 3, and Skinner scored a primary assist in game 6. Stuart Skinner now is 10-0 in games 4-7 throughout these playoffs. Of the goalies, which goalie should be in the conversation now for MVP/Conn Smythe?

[@archangelgabriel5316]

This will be the key.

What is the difference? Stash vs no stash.

[@McLKeith]

The four top scorers in the playoffs are Oilers. If Skinner stays solid, the Oilers are unbeatable.

[@12pgg13]

Bobrovsky and skinner are both great goalies. But the difference is that bob can catch "the flow" when he almost unbeatable.

[@timothyletwin5911]

Hasn't played much against McD and Leon.

[@dangraesser5341]

The McDavid goal was stellar but why is nobody talking about how the stars d men didn't put a body or a stick or elbow or anything. You think of pronger was on d that 97 would have got through there?!?! Not a fn chance

[@mosert82]

maybe you should have been the coach for Dallas 🙄

[@BobsUruncle-dl7cs]

Difference is skinner lets in 4 goals a game when hes playing average, 3 a game when hes playing good and thats just not enough.

Skinner hasn't had any luck, he's earned this opportunity to win a cup, he just outplayed Oettinger who is arguable better than Bob.

[@dmonsef]

Panthers PP/PK are better than what the Oilers faced against the Kings, Canucks and Stars! I just think the Oilers special teams is not so much an advantage for them in this final series.

[@mjberta7319]

The avalanche has a better pk than the panthers and were beaten by the stars and edmonton leads the playoffs in even strength goals as well

[@dmonsef]

@@mjberta7319 Oilers have also played the most games in the playoffs with 18. You have to average out how many even strength goals they score per game and compare that to the other 15 teams that made the playoffs. Also, Avs only went to the 2nd round, so you can't compare to a team that has played less games. That is why you have to go by averages.

[@mjberta7319]

@dmonsef one game more than the panthers isn't much more

[@dmonsef]

@@mjberta7319 And you have to compare to teams the Oilers/Panthers played, and not the other 8 teams that neither team played. Bottom line, Panthers competition was a lot harder to go through beating the Bolts(just recently played in 3 Cup Finals straight and winning 2 of them), Bruins and Rangers. They played against Vasilevskiy, Swayman and Shesterkin. With the Oilers, they went through the mess of a team Kings(Oilers own them 3 straight playoff series now), an overachieving Canucks team that got back in the playoffs after a multitude of years being out of it, and the Stars who seemed to take a big dip after knocking out the reigning Cup Champs(Vegas) and the previous Cup Champs(Avs). Oilers faced goalies, Talbot(washed up), 3rd string and promising Silovs, and the inconsistent in these playoffs Oettinger. I commend the Oilers for making it this far, but the odds are against them. They are facing an opponent that is far better than the 3 they beat so far. Oilers have the advantage with offense, but Panthers have the better forward depth. Defense goes to the Panthers and so does goaltending. PP obviously goes to the Oilers, but PK I only give the Oilers a slight edge over the Panthers because the Oilers 3 opponents had mostly weak PP units.

[@mosert82]

lmao your joking right? Oilers have historically good PK, and PP. Dallas is better than the Panthers and look what happened to them. Panthers are cooked on special teams

[@forfuxakes6814]

All the pressure is on Bobrovsky,the big game goalie😳all Skinner has to do is exactly what he has been doing all playoffs long.He just has to keep out duelling his counterparts which he has…IN SKINS WE TRUST🫡🫡

[@odoaceroftheneoromanempire7178]

Yeah, pretty much. Bobrovsky has all the pressure. Despite what is being said, Edmonton is quite deep as their depth forwards are great defensively, and their D core easily matches up against Florida when you have players like Bouchard, Ekholm, and Kulak(who is quite underrated imo). Bobrovsky is the better goaltender this series, but I do not see Florida having the edge in every category like people think they do. Edmonton has better special teams and the X-factor on talent. The series will be close.

[@itsyeboi631]

@@odoaceroftheneoromanempire7178 Bob has no pressure because if he loses then that is because the team failed him not because he hasnt done well.

[@odoaceroftheneoromanempire7178]

@@itsyeboi631 I think you are sort of right, but at the same time if anyone wins this series for their team it will be Bob. McDavid cannot win the cup alone as proven by the last 3 series, but if there is one player that can win a series alone, it will be Bob. The Panthers are not going to blow out the Oilers. The Oilers are just as deep at forward(defensively) and have a D-core that is a pretty decent match despite what people say. Oilers have the x factor on skill and talent too. People say the Panthers are great at 5v5, yet the the top 5 5v5 scorers these playoffs are all Oilers players... The best PP is the Oilers... The best PK is the Oilers... It is not going to be a walk in the park for either team.

[@tkdmike9345]

Lol what? The Pressure is clearly on Skinner to face a 2x Vezina winner and this year’s finalist. Bob already beat Vasi, Swayman, and Igor all better goalies than Skinner. A couple good games vs Otter is nothing compared to playing those three.

[@odoaceroftheneoromanempire7178]

@@tkdmike9345 No, It's on Bob. Bob needs to cement himself as the best goalie in the league in these finals. He made the finals last year. He is the main reason the Panthers will win the cup if they do. The Oilers will have more than one reason if they win the cup. Bob will absolutely be the main reason the Panthers win the cup. Panthers have depth, but like I said, the top 5 leaders in 5v5 points these playoffs are Oilers players, the best PK is on the Oilers, the best PP is on the Oilers. The Oilers have more firepower than the Panthers and it will be up to Bobrovsky to stifle it.
